@E-Woof Music,

Interesting video.  The eight one knob effects are often overlooked.  Thanks for featuring one of them.

Nice video, and I like your track, too. Refreshing to hear something a little different from the usual genres used in tutorial vids.

I also like your use of native plug-ins and freeware to get your sounds.

You may know this already, but if you would like to have greater control over the individual parameters, I'm pretty certain the MAX Style Dial is a "front end" for either the TL-64 Tube Limiter/Compressor or the Boost 11 Limiter. These are part of the "hidden treasure" plug-ins that come with Cakewalk but that are disabled by default. It's a simple matter to enable them, as well as VX-64 and PX-64, using Cakewalk Plug-In Manager. The Style Dials are great because they're instant access to the important parameters, and it's possible to get at the "guts" behind all of them with those 4 hidden plug-ins.

In any case, Boost 11 and TL-64 (click on the buttons that open the advanced panels) are also ways to boost loudness, and they come with Cakewalk.
